There is that fantasy world that often portrays perfection and
is also quite appealing, sometimes that has to be honored and if the story
dedicates such perfection we respond to that truth. Oscar Wilde said, "The
truth is rarely pure and never simple." Therein lies the complexity,
especially when it comes to writing.We
hope to always give an extra dimension
to our stories.We, of course, will
describe our character but we rarely comment on a particular size.A heroine can be curvy or athletically built
or soft and feminine or whatever, but we downplay any homage to the media
phenomena of being a size minus two.

A: (Cuddles the wee beasty and grins at it) Whacky is also a
perception.

Z:Are you calling me
whacky?

A:According to the
dictionary, whacky is an adjective that describes odd or crazy. Our problem is deciding
which of us is odd and who is crazy?

Z: You're over-analyzing.

A: Am not. Z: You always do that.

A: I'm intellectualizing.

Z: You're so strange.

A: Hmmm, then I guess that makes me odd and YOU crazy.

Margaret Hungerford wrote, "Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder." She was an Irish novelist in the 19th century who wrote light
romantic fiction. However, this saying first appeared in the 3rd century BC in
Greek. And, as all know, what was considered beautiful differed from each
era.Beauty from our parents' day
differs from the perception of beauty today.That is why we try to make the beauty of our heroines unique, special,
brushed an unusual hue.

Z: Something we fully agree upon.

A: Have you ever considered that the literary gods have a sense
of humor by putting us together as writers?

Z: I think they wanted to see what would happen if they mixed
two independent writers with 1 part logic, 1 part zany, and 2 parts stubborn.

A: Am not stubborn!

Z: Did I say it was you?

A: Oh... (thinks) No, but if you meant me, I'm not stubborn
just... well... just usually right.

Z: (Opens his mouth to speak, and then just keeps quite, shaking
his head)
